Build awareness of safe and constructive ways to respond when witnessing inappropriate workplace behaviour.
Knowing something is wrong is different from knowing how to respond. Explore safe, constructive options for people who witness inappropriate workplace behaviour, with attention to context, personal safety and the person affected.
